BLEEDING
CAUTION:
Bleeding without the hand-held tester may result in the air not being completely bled. As this can
result in an accident, be sure to use the hand-held tester for air bleeding.
NOTICE:
Move the shift lever to the P position and apply the parking brake before bleeding air.
Add brake fluid carefully so that it remains between MIN and MAX lines of the reservoir while
bleeding air.
Brake fluid may overflow when bleeding the brake actuator hose. Do not place the fluid can on
the reservoir inlet.
If the pump motor operates while there is air remaining inside the brake actuator hose, the air
will enter the actuator, resulting in difficulty in air bleeding. Remove the motor relay No.1 and
No.2 until instructed to reinstall them in order to prevent air from coming into the brake actuator
hose.
Actuator pump motor and master pressure cut-off solenoid can operate through a supplemental power source even if the power switch is off.
A buzzer may sound due to the accumulator pressure decline during air bleeding, however,
keep on bleeding.
DTCs for things such as the motor relay No.1 and No.2 malfunction and a pressure sensor malfunction are stored after bleeding. Clear the DTCs when instructed during or after bleeding.
Bleed the brake actuator hose if air enters as a result of the decline of reservoir fluid.
